the postman calls often at our house!

If we don't get a package each day now I get really glum, which is the great thing about swapping! Yesterday I received this cute little box of goodies from
rita
and my sampler parcel arrived from Black Apple

which is fantastic-(R's not so sure about the revolver ear rings!)

Then today my good friend J sent me three items of clothing from her Nana because she thought I might like the fabric - I do!


With all this parcel opening you might be surprised to learn that I also whipped up a new little bag today. I used two thrifted pillowcases which I've had for a while. I drew up the pattern based on a old bag that I used to love. I added the pocket (handy for phone & keys) and made sure it is reversible to cater to my whim on any given day! as you can see from the photo's it holds quite a bit (water bottle, note book, wallet, little emergency kit, snacks for Miss L, phone and keys) and turned out pretty well (especially considering how quick I whipped it up). so I have plans for more with the fabrics I've been collecting - maybe even an etsy foray?!


P.s. also got to the post office, so keep your eye on the mail box, ellia, ange & suse.
